least_o satan_n may_v suggest_v why_o what_o be_v this_o a_o poor_a thing_n that_o can_v hardly_o crawl_v towards_o christ_n in_o a_o duty_n so_o weak_a there_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o be_v see_v of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n because_o there_o be_v so_o little_a ay_o but_o christian_n you_o do_v not_o know_v under_o what_o designment_n this_o little_a be_v what_o great_a thing_n the_o lord_n have_v to_o manage_v by_o this_o little_a grace_n daniel_n when_o the_o lord_n show_v he_o the_o great_a revolution_n that_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o show_v he_o a_o mountain_n a_o mighty_a mountain_n and_o he_o show_v he_o also_o a_o little_a stone_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o mountain_n without_o hand_n and_o this_o stone_n shall_v be_v big_a than_o the_o mountain_n the_o mountain_n if_o you_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o roman_a empire_n that_o be_v as_o a_o mountain_n that_o fill_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n ay_o but_o the_o little_a stone_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o mountain_n without_o hand_n that_o shall_v cover_v all_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o its_o time_n so_o i_o say_v do_v but_o you_o make_v it_o your_o business_n to_o discover_v grace_n and_o never_o prescribe_v any_o limit_n as_o to_o that_o grace_n a_o little_a grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o great_a design_n little_a david_n do_v more_o than_o the_o mighty_a man_n saul_n that_o be_v tall_a than_o all_o the_o israelite_n he_o be_v under_o a_o great_a designment_n i_o pray_v consider_v this_o with_o i_o under_o these_o two_o branch_n 1._o the_o least_o grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o designment_n for_o great_a service_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v christ_n be_v prophesy_v of_o as_o a_o root_n that_o shall_v grow_v out_o of_o a_o dry_a ground_n so_o christ_n be_v compare_v he_o promise_v but_o little_a there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a slender_a appearance_n of_o jesus_n at_o the_o first_o that_o ever_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o man_n in_o who_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o prophecy_n shall_v centre_n a_o carpenter_n son_n this_o be_v but_o the_o son_n of_o a_o carpenter_n say_v they_o a_o unlikely_a thing_n that_o all_o the_o promise_n and_o prophecy_n of_o the_o messiah_n shall_v centre_n in_o he_o and_o have_v their_o accomplishment_n in_o he_o even_o so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o christian_n little_a beginning_n many_o time_n do_v work_n and_o boil_v up_o and_o improve_v unto_o great_a undertakement_n if_o you_o naked_o consider_v how_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o his_o own_o disciple_n one_o will_v wonder_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v his_o hearer_n three_o year_n and_o and_o a_o half_a and_z when_o all_o come_v to_o all_o have_v not_o so_o much_o faith_n as_o to_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v real_o he_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v grace_n enough_o to_o bear_v they_o out_o in_o one_o brush_n of_o trial_n that_o they_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o apprehend_n of_o our_o lord_n but_o they_o must_v all_o forsake_v he_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n that_o indeed_o be_v something_o a_o great_a trial_n but_o to_o forsake_v he_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v apprehend_v and_o for_o peter_n to_o deny_v he_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v challenge_v this_o do_v not_o discover_v greatness_n of_o grace_n true_o these_o man_n as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v man_n of_o little_a stature_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o they_o during_o that_o time_n they_o live_v with_o christ_n and_o hear_v the_o lord_n christ_n be_v but_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o man_n that_o must_v do_v the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n so_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n in_o thy_o child_n heart_n or_o in_o thy_o own_o heart_n but_o that_o little_a grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o great_a designment_n for_o great_a service_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v look_v after_o a_o little_a because_o he_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o be_v design_v for_o and_o that_o every_o one_o be_v design_v for_o 2._o the_o least_o grace_n may_v be_v under_o a_o designment_n for_o the_o great_a enjoyment_n that_o be_v god_n may_v design_v a_o person_n for_o the_o great_a enjoyment_n that_o have_v now_o but_o the_o least_o grace_n many_o time_n child_n that_o be_v weak_a have_v most_o of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o tender_a affection_n of_o the_o mother_n true_o so_o i_o may_v say_v the_o lord_n do_v lead_v those_o many_o time_n by_o the_o hand_n that_o he_o have_v give_v but_o little_a grace_n to_o when_o other_o be_v as_o it_o be_v turn_v to_o go_v of_o themselves_o the_o lamb_n be_v carry_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o shepherd_n isa_n 40.11_o the_o lord_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o a_o shepherd_n that_o shall_v gather_v the_o lamb_n with_o his_o arm_n and_o carry_v they_o in_o his_o bosom_n christian_n though_o you_o be_v but_o little_a yet_o i_o pray_v consider_v you_o may_v be_v under_o a_o designment_n of_o great_a enjoyment_n the_o lord_n do_v many_o time_n give_v you_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sweet_a of_o the_o gospel_n whilst_o he_o feed_v other_o with_o courser_n and_o harsh_a fare_n the_o lord_n give_v you_o the_o dainty_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o of_o the_o promise_n when_o he_o do_v treat_v with_o other_o with_o more_o course_n or_o more_o common_a providence_n christian_n i_o pray_v consider_v not_o only_o for_o the_o present_a but_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v you_o may_v be_v under_o the_o great_a designment_n for_o the_o great_a enjoyment_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v not_o lose_v the_o least_o grain_n what_o sieve_n soever_o he_o make_v use_v of_o to_o be_v sure_a his_o eye_n and_o his_o hand_n will_v be_v upon_o the_o least_o grain_n in_o the_o sieve_n because_o of_o their_o designment_n 3._o the_o lord_n will_v take_v care_n of_o those_o that_o have_v the_o least_o grace_n because_o those_o that_o have_v the_o least_o grace_n have_v a_o full_a right_n i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v there_o be_v no_o gradual_a difference_n in_o gospel_n right_a if_o i_o have_v a_o right_n to_o a_o estate_n wrap_v up_o in_o a_o scroul_n of_o paper_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o right_n that_o another_o have_v to_o his_o estate_n that_o be_v write_v or_o enlarge_v upon_o in_o a_o sheet_n true_o so_o it_o be_v with_o christian_n little_a grace_n give_v a_o full_a right_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n will_v look_v after_o it_o or_o else_o he_o must_v suffer_v his_o own_o right_a to_o be_v lose_v the_o right_a that_o he_o have_v give_v to_o be_v void_a if_o he_o do_v not_o look_v after_o the_o least_o grace_n i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o these_o two_o branch_n 1._o the_o great_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o the_o least_o of_o grace_n i_o pray_v turn_n to_o that_o passage_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o first_o sermon_n that_o ever_o he_o preach_v upon_o the_o mount_n in_o mat._n 5._o bless_a say_v he_o be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n what_o can_v you_o have_v more_o than_o the_o kingdom_n not_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o kingdom_n without_o limitation_n they_o be_v the_o throne_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o their_o be_v the_o crown_n of_o the_o kingdom_n &_o they_o be_v the_o blessedness_n &_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o who_o be_v these_o to_o who_o this_o kingdom_n in_o all_o its_o glory_n be_v thus_o annex_v by_o promise_n it_o be_v those_o who_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n that_o have_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n and_o yet_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o little_a christian_n there_o be_v no_o gradual_a variation_n in_o right_n though_o there_o be_v always_o gradual_a variation_n in_o the_o comfort_n of_o your_o right_n you_o shall_v scarce_o meet_v with_o two_o christian_n that_o have_v in_o all_o point_v a_o equal_a balance_n of_o comfortable_a enjoyment_n of_o their_o right_n and_o yet_o their_o right_n be_v the_o same_o thy_o promise_n be_v my_o promise_n and_o the_o blessing_n that_o be_v a_o christian_n by_o covenant_n that_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n these_o very_a blessing_n and_o this_o very_a covenant_n may_v with_o all_o its_o blessing_n belong_v to_o he_o that_o have_v least_o grace_n may_v a_o man_n that_o be_v well_o thrive_v in_o grace_n say_v all_o this_o be_v i_o as_o god_n say_v to_o abraham_n when_o he_o lead_v he_o forth_o come_v

i_o feed_v my_o lamb_n o_o christian_n the_o great_a care_n and_o the_o great_a provision_n that_o be_v make_v in_o both_o testament_n and_o the_o great_a injunction_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o both_o testament_n be_v to_o look_v after_o the_o mean_a christian_n which_o must_v needs_o discover_v this_o great_a truth_n that_o the_o mean_a christian_n that_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o shall_v not_o miscarry_v but_o i_o shall_v open_v this_o further_a to_o you_o in_o two_o branch_n 1._o that_o the_o least_o grace_n in_o the_o least_o christian_n be_v the_o product_n of_o the_o great_a grace_n that_o work_v in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o least_o christian_n but_o the_o great_a and_o infinite_a grace_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n concur_v to_o the_o produce_v of_o it_o this_o i_o will_v only_o illustrate_v to_o you_o by_o a_o passage_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o matth._n 13._o v._n 31._o where_o he_o compare_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n why_o what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n that_o be_v pass_v in_o heaven_n now_o say_v he_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n why_o but_o lord_n may_v they_o say_v here_o be_v a_o grain_n that_o have_v bring_v forth_o and_o spread_v abundant_o this_o be_v like_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n indeed_o ay_o but_o say_v he_o the_o little_a grain_n though_o it_o be_v the_o least_o of_o all_o grain_n be_v a_o fit_a similitude_n and_o comparison_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o what_o shall_v i_o liken_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n say_v he_o be_v like_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n which_o a_o man_n take_v and_o sow_v in_o his_o field_n so_o that_o there_o be_v the_o whole_a resemblance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n even_o in_o a_o little_a grain_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v sow_o as_o much_o as_o when_o it_o be_v in_o its_o great_a flourish_n after_o its_o full_a growth_n there_o be_v a_o real_a and_o a_o comprehensive_a resemblance_n of_o it_o in_o the_o least_o seed_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v sow_o in_o thy_o heart_n there_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n manifest_v in_o thou_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v manifest_v in_o thou_o the_o office_n of_o all_o person_n concern_v in_o the_o kingdom_n they_o be_v all_o manifest_v in_o thou_o jesus_n christ_n mediation_n and_o the_o spirit_n sanctification_n and_o the_o father_n justification_n these_o be_v all_o manifest_v upon_o the_o least_o work_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o thou_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v a_o substantial_a manifestation_n of_o all_o the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o least_o work_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v wrought_v upon_o any_o heart_n 2._o the_o least_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o least_o christian_n be_v a_o manifestation_n not_o only_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o a_o real_a demonstration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n a_o demonstration_n á_z priori_fw-la as_o they_o call_v it_o a_o demonstration_n of_o that_o which_o be_v antecedent_n or_o anantecedent_n demonstration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a flourish_n of_o grace_n i_o pray_v christian_n consider_v you_o that_o be_v young_a in_o grace_n you_o have_v a_o demonstration_n in_o you_o a_o antecedent_n demonstration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n i_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n but_o the_o flourish_n of_o that_o love_n that_o i_o have_v now_o wrought_v in_o i_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o increase_n of_o my_o likeness_n to_o god_n and_o to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n that_o be_v now_o begin_v in_o i_o this_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n now_o this_o little_a work_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o antecedent_n demonstration_n of_o a_o incomprehensible_a weight_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v to_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o people_n of_o god_n when_o they_o come_v in_o heaven_n and_o this_o you_o may_v see_v evidence_v in_o the_o parable_n that_o i_o last_o mention_v and_o in_o the_o other_o parable_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v make_v use_n of_o 3._o a_o three_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a threaten_n be_v denounce_v against_o discourage_a carriage_n towards_o those_o that_o have_v least_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o towards_o those_o that_o have_v great_a nay_o let_v i_o also_o tell_v you_o this_o that_o although_o they_o themselves_o be_v under_o the_o token_n of_o god_n displeasure_n yet_o their_o relation_n to_o god_n do_v heightenthem_n as_o aggravation_n of_o their_o enemy_n carriage_n towards_o they_o i_o find_v not_o a_o great_a threaten_n ever_o come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n jesus_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n than_o this_o it_o be_v better_a say_v he_o for_o that_o man_n that_o he_o have_v a_o

threaten_n take_v its_o rise_n from_o the_o adversary_n carriage_n towards_o the_o least_o of_o those_o that_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o for_o instance_n you_o know_v god_n threaten_v that_o he_o will_v have_v perpetual_a war_n with_o amaleck_n and_o why_o with_o ameleck_n more_o than_o with_o moab_n or_o with_o edom_n or_o the_o other_o nation_n that_o give_v disturbance_n to_o his_o people_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o reason_n to_o be_v because_o they_o watch_v their_o opportunity_n and_o smite_v the_o hindmost_a of_o the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o march_v upon_o the_o front_n of_o the_o

and_o this_o lay_v as_o it_o be_v reserve_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n till_o the_o first_o king_n that_o ever_o appear_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o israel_n saul_n be_v not_o command_v to_o

perfect_a effigy_n as_o they_o can_v in_o a_o great_a compass_n true_o my_o friend_n though_o your_o limb_n be_v not_o so_o big_a as_o i_o may_v say_v though_o your_o countenance_n be_v not_o so_o big_a your_o grace_n be_v not_o so_o big_a yet_o here_o be_v a_o true_a representation_n of_o christ_n where_o be_v the_o least_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o full_a and_o express_a image_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n will_v take_v care_n because_o of_o the_o image_n say_v christ_n when_o they_o bring_v he_o by_o a_o ensnare_a question_n to_o give_v they_o a_o resolve_v why_o show_v i_o the_o penny_n who_o be_v the_o image_n so_o my_o friend_n if_o you_o bring_v your_o own_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v ask_v the_o question_n who_o image_n who_o superscription_n be_v it_o and_o will_v answer_v himself_o it_o be_v my_o own_o it_o be_v my_o own_o superscription_n and_o image_n though_o it_o be_v in_o so_o small_a a_o compass_n christian_n i_o will_v have_v you_o consider_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v great_a tenderness_n for_o thing_n without_o proportion_n though_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o faith_n nor_o so_o much_o love_n nor_o so_o much_o humility_n yet_o if_o you_o have_v true_a faith_n true_a love_n true_a humility_n god_n and_o christ_n will_v know_v his_o own_o god_n will_v know_v his_o own_o image_n though_o draw_v in_o the_o least_o compass_n i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o these_o two_o branch_n that_o i_o may_v make_v manifest_a the_o rationality_n of_o this_o proceed_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o first_o be_v this_o 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n in_o any_o heart_n but_o that_o do_v discover_v the_o whole_a image_n to_o be_v real_o and_o indeed_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n create_v nothing_o imperfect_o neither_o in_o the_o new_a nor_o in_o the_o old_a creation_n nothing_o imperfect_o he_o take_v adam_n rib_n out_o of_o his_o side_n and_o he_o make_v a_o perfect_a image_n and_o representation_n of_o that_o and_o he_o take_v up_o clay_n or_o red_a earth_n and_o he_o make_v a_o perfect_a man_n of_o that_o true_o christian_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o all_o monstruous_a conception_n be_v the_o issue_n either_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n or_o the_o other_o of_o the_o degeneracy_n and_o not_o the_o product_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o here_o where_o god_n have_v create_v the_o likeness_n of_o christ_n in_o love_n there_o be_v you_o may_v conclude_v the_o likeness_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o other_o excellency_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o use_v to_o turn_v the_o new_a creature_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n by_o piecemeal_o or_o by_o part_n now_o a_o little_a and_o then_o a_o little_a but_o the_o whole_a be_v where_o there_o be_v a_o essential_a part_n you_o shall_v find_v all_o along_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n own_v these_o principle_n in_o his_o carriage_n towards_o his_o disciple_n and_o towards_o they_o with_o who_o he_o do_v converse_v you_o can_v hardly_o discover_v in_o his_o own_o disciple_n so_o much_o while_o he_o live_v as_o to_o make_v up_o a_o distinct_a entire_a christian_a as_o to_o part_n in_o equal_a proportion_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o christ_n observe_v it_o yet_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o own_v they_o as_o his_o own_o and_o call_v they_o his_o own_o joh._n 13._o have_v love_v his_o own_o he_o love_v they_o to_o the_o end_n what_o think_v you_o be_v peter_n like_o christ_n and_o do_v he_o express_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o know_v that_o his_o lord_n can_v have_v command_v angel_n for_o his_o security_n yet_o he_o truckle_v at_o the_o accusation_n of_o a_o silly_a girl_n 2._o that_o little_a grace_n that_o be_v in_o we_o do_v discover_v a_o whole_a right_n to_o all_o christ_n and_o to_o all_o the_o consequence_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o in_o any_o capacity_n jesus_n christ_n do_v or_o suffer_v god_n do_v not_o stand_v with_o christian_n as_o i_o may_v say_v upon_o such_o punctilio_n as_o one_o christian_n stand_v with_o another_o upon_o god_n be_v wise_a and_o know_v that_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o son_n be_v a_o gospel-evidence_n of_o full_a right_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v because_o of_o his_o evidence_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v look_v after_o and_o concern_v himself_o in_o the_o least_o grain_n and_o that_o be_v the_o five_o reason_n i_o will_v but_o add_v one_o more_o for_o i_o will_v not_o prevent_v myself_o in_o the_o application_n and_o that_o be_v this_o vi_o the_o least_o grain_n of_o grace_n be_v as_o real_o and_o as_o true_o new-covenant_n grace_n as_o the_o great_a degree_n of_o grace_n be_v or_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v or_o if_o you_o will_v the_o least_o christian_a that_o have_v but_o true_a grace_n be_v as_o real_o a_o new-covenant_n christian_n as_o he_o that_o have_v most_o grace_n and_o therefore_o god_n will_v look_v after_o he_o when_o he_o be_v sift_v israel_n in_o the_o sieve_n of_o the_o nation_n he_o will_v look_v after_o the_o grain_n i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v these_o two_o thing_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o 1._o when_o the_o lord_n covenant_n to_o write_v his_o law_n he_o do_v not_o covenant_n to_o write_v they_o all_o in_o the_o same_o proportion_n in_o all_o heart_n in_o the_o same_o proportion_n but_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n and_o the_o proportion_n that_o be_v to_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o his_o pleasure_n to_o be_v do_v many_o be_v ready_a to_o question_v that_o little_a they_o have_v because_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o another_o pray_v when_o do_v god_n engage_v himself_o to_o proportion_v thy_o grace_n to_o thy_o brother_n yet_o though_o it_o be_v in_o a_o lesser_a proportion_n it_o be_v as_o true_o new-covenant_n writing_n as_o the_o write_n of_o a_o great_a do_v but_o turn_v if_o you_o please_v to_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n heb._n 8._o for_o 8._o behold_v the_o day_n come_v that_o i_o will_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n not_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n that_o i_o make_v with_o their_o father_n etc._n etc._n but_o for_o 10._o i_o will_v put_v my_o law_n into_o their_o mind_n and_o write_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n have_v every_o one_o the_o same_o proportion_n of_o gospel-knowledge_n in_o their_o head_n no_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o every_o one_o have_v a_o save_a proportion_n so_o as_o to_o grace_v in_o the_o heart_n you_o shall_v find_v there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o the_o proportion_n though_o not_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v proportion_v i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n here_o be_v enough_o and_o when_o a_o new-covenant_n promise_n have_v take_v place_n in_o the_o heart_n the_o dreadful_a old-covenant_n threaten_v have_v nothing_o to_o do_v there_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v write_v but_o some_o rough_a character_n in_o thy_o heart_n at_o the_o present_a why_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o exempt_v thou_o from_o all_o the_o old_a covenant_n proceed_v and_o to_o give_v thou_o right_n to_o all_o the_o new-covenant_n blessing_n and_o if_o you_o can_v see_v it_o so_o well_o god_n i_o be_o sure_a can_v 2._o but_o the_o least_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v create_v in_o the_o heart_n have_v the_o most_o substantial_a promise_n make_v to_o it_o i_o pray_v christian_n be_v it_o not_o a_o more_o substantial_a promise_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v eternal_o fill_v with_o joy_n in_o the_o house_n of_o your_o father_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n than_o to_o be_v fill_v with_o joy_n while_o you_o live_v here_o at_o the_o footstool_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v if_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v comfortable_a day_n while_o i_o live_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a happiness_n to_o have_v secret_a assurance_n that_o i_o shall_v have_v a_o eternal_a day_n of_o blessedness_n it_o may_v be_v my_o condition_n may_v be_v lay_v open_a to_o temptation_n
